Question:

water pump gasket question?

94 f150,302 engine. the water pump comes with 2 gaskets. one behind a metal plate on the pump and another for mounting it to the motor. my question is do you have to use sealant of any kind on both gaskets or can you just bolt it on?

Answer:

gasket seal wouldn't hurt
use sealant you dont need a ton but enough to hold the gaskets in place
Weekend before last, I did the entire timing chain cover and water pump assembly of my '92's Mustang's 5.0L. Used the red silicone.......doesn't leak a drop.
Do not seal these gaskets with anything extra!
Use gasket sealer. RTV silicone or whatever.
